In a shocking courtroom revelation, Erin Patterson, the Australian woman recently convicted of murdering three relatives with a toxic beef Wellington, allegedly tried to kill her estranged husband, Simon Patterson, using various poisoned dishes. As reported, Simon shared allegations of repeated poisoning attempts spanning years, where he reportedly fell ill after meals prepared by Erin, including curry, Bolognese pasta, and even cookies she claimed were made by their daughter.
Though initially facing attempted murder charges for these incidents, they were dropped before her trial. Details were kept under wraps until now to avoid compromising the trial's integrity. Simon stated he became suspicious after frequently falling ill and began documenting his experiences. While he had confided in family members about his fears, he never pursued the matter further, believing only he was at risk.
However, things took a dire turn when his parents fell critically ill after a family lunch, leading Simon to share his suspicions with relatives in a hospital chapel. Police investigations suggested that rat poison might have been involved in one of the poisoning attempts. This unsettling case continues to reveal the extraordinary lengths of alleged malice, shocking not just the courtroom but the entire community as they learn about the grim details of the Patterson family saga.
